iThenticate is a plagiarism detection software that is designed to be used by researchers, instructors, graduate students and undergraduates engaged in high-level research to screen written work for originality and copyright infringement. The service allows account users to easily upload and scan documents, theses, dissertations, manuscripts, research proposals and other professional works into iThenticate which compares the work against 14 billion web pages and 110 million content items from leading academic publications. In addition to comparing the text of an uploaded document to digital text on the open internet, iThenticate also compares uploaded text against text in the published scholarly literature that is otherwise behind publisher firewalls on the internet. iThenticate is used by Federal government agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) to check for instances of potential plagiarism in submitted proposals. Utilization of iThenticate prior to proposal submission and thesis uploading is optional, but is highly encouraged.

Documents uploaded in IThenticate remain the proprietary property of the individual who submitted them for analysis and are only available to individuals who have access to the submitter’s personal iThenticate user account. iThenticate is a tool for faculty, staff, and students of Wright State to use in the process of academic research and publishing. The Office of Research Compliance will not review any documents submitted by users of iThenticate unless requested to do so by the user or the University’s Office of General Counsel. Once uploaded, the document and the resulting Similarity Report remain in the user’s personal account filing system until the user deletes them.
